This thing doesn't let up…! The small patch of 'security' on which she stood now at best smouldering in places and burning in others as Sofia serena threw herself over her shoulder to avoid yet another fireball thrown down from a speeding enemy, the fresh sheen of activity left her brow damp and the combination of activity and the building smoke seeming to choke her with every breath, she was left to pant as she found all but one of the cannons on deck ruined by attacks which had seemed to be designed to cripple the craft, and with a degree of thinking that went beyond even most men.
And it's not just a dumb beast either. It's working me out, testing for weaknesses… Hearing tales from those who had faced dragons and drakes which spoke of how the most frightening thing about them was neither flame nor fang but rather the intellect they showed, it seemed that the shot she had landed on this wicked wyvern had seemed to wake it from whatever rage that had brought it, but done little to deter it from its apparent purpose of ensuring that the ship and the woman aboard it were sent to the bottom of the ocean in as crispy a state as ever.
“Damnit…!” The efforts of the emerald eyed enchantress seeming to be coming to naught increasingly for nothing beach of that fact as her fiery foe opted to keep himself fast and spare only enough of his deadly breath to keep the woman on her toes and pick off the defences she had at her disposal, even now as she hopped over outbursts of flame and fallen timer Miss Serena found herself pressured, and seemingly driven into a corner by an animal which appeared to now have every intent to toy with its meal.
Oh no! For that reason the fox unlikely to be surprised when she found rows of fangs and flames beyond them waiting for her when she finally made it to her last cannon, and realized that her plans had been both discerned and completely undone by her airborne aggressor, it was all she could do in the fraction of a moment she was offered to pull her index and middle fingers to her brow and activate a spell to protect herself, for the moment at least.
“Whewww!” Still not keen on testing just how well her wards might have held up against the breath of a dragon and instead relying on her tried and tested trump card to vanish from the deck the moment she felt that heat building and return as far from the beast as she could, Sofia had to let loose a breath as she watched the blazing beast let loose a blast of fire which seemed to run roughshod over the entire deck, and finally claim the craft which she had been using to cover herself as it did so.
Kinda out of the frying pan and into the fire now though right…? Far from out of the woods just yet mind you and now hanging in the air without any means of protecting her hide without beyond what magic could provide, frankly it was tempting to just rush for the coastline and hope that the wrath of the wyvern would be satisfied with the ship, but it was something of a gamble, and one she wouldn't take. After all, if it followed her to the town, it might just hurt someone there, and those someone's include her friends and her family. So today, either she resolved herself that either this blasting brute would go down over the ocean, or she would…
